I decided to ride on the trainer last night because we were supposed to get some thunderstorms passing through our area. It’s a good thing I did, because we probably had one of the worst rainstorms that I have ever seen yesterday. At one point, the rain was falling at a rate of nearly two inches an hour! The really heavy stuff didn’t last too long, but we did end up with 2.64 inches of rainfall yesterday according to a nearby weather station in my neighborhood. That’s more than half the average rainfall for the entire month and we got most of that in a one to two hour period! Craziness!

I’m hoping the wet stuff will stay away this afternoon and that I’ll be able to get a longish ride in tonight. I don’t know if I can handle multiple days on the trainer straight. I tried spinning yesterday while watching Breaking Away, which came recommended by a few other fellow triathletes. I must say, the first hour was a bit slow, though. I guess it was made in 1979, so my expectations probably shouldn’t have been too high. I still have another 40 minutes of the move waiting for me at home too.

Also, I hate eating oranges with seeds.
